LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider. It will be the
largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built.
LHC@home helps the construction of LHC. It simulates how
the particles travel trough the 27 km long tunnel. With
the help of the calculated information, the magnets that
control the beam can be calibrated with greater precision.
LHC@home was created by, and is based at,
CERN,
which is located in Geneva, Switzerland.
